Packers looking at veteran TE?· Page 2

I can believe that the Packers inquired whether Waller was available for a trade and the Raiders said no. That type of thing happens every day. Gute's staff is constantly making calls about possible trades.

The way Nagler framed this: "The Packers are engaged in talks with the Raiders to trade for Darren Waller. A deal they are hoping to get done during this weeks draft."

That is completely unacceptable by Nagler. He should be ashamed of himself. If I was the Packers, I would ban him from being allowed in the Packers media room for one year.😏

Before any further discussion, I need more than a Aaron Nagler rumor. I have found no one credible reporting that the Packers are engaged in talks with the Raiders for Waller.

A lot of crap hitting walls around draft time. My BS meter is starting to register pretty high on this one.

Did the Packers feel there's no need to rush, let's see if someone else comes available? Or maybe it was let's see if Waller gets hurt? Of course, you NEVER hope for that, but why submit a trade before you actually need to? That's the only thing I can think about with waiting and assuming the rumor is true.

I know they tried to get Waller in the Davante deal, I don't know that it was ever agreed upon by both sides and just not completed because the league stopped it. There is no evidence that the Raiders ever agreed to deal Waller.

The Raiders are now laughing at this report. Waller is not available. As Derek Carr said: 🤣"Not a chance"

This is why I asked why the Raiders would be willing to give him up now? All sources are saying they are not interested.

Nagler comes off as a clown here.

Waller is going to be 30 soon. Very soon. He's a decent TE but his contract is for 2 more years. How often do the Packers give a contract to a 32 year old? Not very often. Perhaps a 1 or a 2 year deal. Something with a bunch of void years.

Giving back a 2nd for a 2 year rental doesn't seem to be Gute's style. Not when he can select a 22 year old for 4 years plus a potential second contract in a matter of 80 hours or so.

Jeremy Fowler ✔ @JFowlerESPN Got a firm ‘zero chance’ Darren Waller is traded from a source. Teams certainly would like to acquire a top tight end on a good contract but Raiders have no plans to acquiesce.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
